I am not here to prove that I am GOD
I am here to prove that you are GOD.

Swami Parmahansa Nithyananda


If this is the belief of a man in flesh and blood who exist on this earth then the event around SWAMI NITHYANDA needs definitely a re-look. Ever since the airing of the alleged video clipping of Swamiji found in compromising position, host of calls started pouring in where I was literally questioned as if I was the custodian and morally obliged to explain of what was happening around Swamiji. You know why? It was just because I consider Swamiji as a MASTER. The stand which I consistently maintained was that “I consider Swami Nithyananda as my master and an event encircling around him doesn’t change my relationship with my master as my relationship was purely based on my experiential reality born out of indoctrinating the awesome thoughts of Swami Nithyananda which I have aligned to my soul. The present state within me is that if it was true then airing or not airing the alleged video clip doesn’t change him what my master was. If it is untrue then the TRUTH will get unraveled. Either way it doesn’t make any difference as everyone has to move on. What threw up was that my mind went into the entire issue by taking a neutral perspective. I raise the same issue humbly before all of us as this is what I feel everyone would be searching for an answer from being called as an ENLIGHTENED MASTER.

CAN A BEDROOM STORY BE TERMED AS A NATIONAL NEWS?

Just couple of months back in the state of Karnataka in India, a Governor, a public servant and the head of the STATE was found in the compromising position and that too inside the RAJ BHAVAN. The signals of the alleged video was aired but no public outcry was made the way it has been made in the case of SWAMI NITHYANANDA, who is a private individual and also a BACHELOR by marital status. My query was why this difference? The act of the Governor though occupying the office is mentally accepted by the people at large that such hidden act is part of the political class but whereas the act of any GODMAN is not acceptable not because it doesn’t happen anywhere but it hurts the SOCIETAL CONSCIOUSNESS which gets completely shaken and that is why there is huge public outcry.

My question to all of us is, isn’t it hypocrisy of the society that it already knows if we implant a hidden camera on who is who in society the story is not going to be any different from what has happened in this case. The next question is how come a bedroom story can be aired without testing the veracity of the content? Does MEDIA has any MORAL or LEGAL right to air the half truth which can ruin an individuals character or take the PUBLIC SENTIMENT to road and disturb the neatly woven social fabric which can destroy the PEACE of any society. It really calls for TOTAL BAN on MEDIA who is ready to put a small rejoinder when the act later cannot be proven in any court of law. I deeply feel that MEDIA has become totally insane and has not only abused and misused its social responsibility to society but has been selectively choosing a FOCUS by just checking how much TRP can it instantly get without even bothering on the sentiments and values attached to a feeling in a society. It’s all about jingle in its kitty and the instant craze for ever raving BREAKING NEWS among its competitors.

Media cannot go beyond the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS guaranteed to every individual whether it is a GODMAN or a GOVERNOR to air the bedroom story as the NEWS for any practical purpose. The COURT and the GOVERNMENT OF INDIA should put a restraint immediately on MEDIA of any such ACT as it is becoming the cause of creating the SOCIAL UNREST in a society which already has many problems which needs urgent attention. The bedroom stories are a private acts and LAW TAKES ITS OWN COURSE whenever an aggrieved person in such cases approaches the police authorities.

WHY MAKE HOLES IN THE BOAT WHICH WE ALL ARE TRAVELLING?

India is of course SECULAR because it does not have a STATE RELIGION. But it is only the magnanimity of our great culture HINDUISM which is at the core as a philosophy that assimilates all other religion unto its fold and does not differentiate between the faiths of other religion operating on this soil. The philosophy of our great culture has promoted only love, warmth, compassion tolerance and so on. If this the edifice on which the whole superior philosophy is built then isn’t it truth that we are targeting our own culture by getting shaken on the slightest of half truth aired by MEDIA which has no responsibility but is governed only by the money and fame dynamics. Though every INDIAN may not follow HINDUISM but sentiment across the world for every INDIAN is that world treats every INDIAN as HINDU because our culture is still venerated by the outside world with same level of intensity. The so called developed society of the WEST still draws lot of enthusiasm to fill their hollowness in their society from the spirit of this great RELIGION originating and very much part from our soil which forms in the DNA of every INDIAN.

Is it that the priests in churches and the moulvis in mosques do not have any parallel to the event happening in and around our GODMAN’S? ‘No’ it is not the case. Events such as these are a usual phenomenon across all the culture as it stems from the body hunger. It is to be highly appreciated with faith that events of such magnitude is dealt with grace by the respective religious head. Their cultures takes the social responsibility to treat the problem at their appropriate forum so that public sentiments should neither be trounced nor there is a need to trigger the social unrest in a society because of any aberrations. If this is the wisdom which is the hallmark and the bedrock in the religions which are not as absorbing and as encompassing as HINDUISM, then is it not the responsibility of all of us that we should rise above the petty media interest and express the tolerance and wisdom which is deeply embedded in our own culture.

ISN’T IT TRUE THAT EVERY RISING STAR HAS AN ENEMY?

In this competitive world it’s so difficult to be in top even for a day? The professional excellence in core field has no longer the sanctity because to topple a person at top all the unfair means of targeting ones private life is also taken recourse to as the amount of money is sufficient reason which has been tagged at being on the top. If TIGER WOODS itself is not spared then it is true for every person moving towards the top that there are more forces to bring one down. It is done not by helping them to be on top but hitting them below the belt by cheaply touching ones personal life which is no way connected to ones own skill matching the professional competence.. If this is the daily struggle with one and all then how SWAMI NITHYANADA can can be spared when it is an emerging fact that SPIRITUALITY has also become a big business. The fall of anyone is imminent when truth gets unraveled. So isn’t it absolutely necessary that the RISING STAR should be handled more carefully as the jolt to one’s character is so hard that it is extremely difficult to even stand after the effect of malicious campaign dies without any substance. Public memory is very short and public force to damage a visible and invisible property is far reaching.

I firmly believe that public figure are already hard pressed and struggling for their existence on day to day basis because it is extremely difficult to stay on top as the journey is only for a while. If this is the given scenario for every public figure then government should deal with such matters more sensitively not because of saving a private right but it is exactly these people who are our brand ambassadors representing our society linked with the International world.

WHY THE STORY CAN HAVE CONSPIRACY THEORY?

The alleged footage of Swami Nithyananda had some common calls which invite attention of masses that there is enough room for making this issue a spoil sport. The Dhyanapeetham has raised the objection in the clipping that the images have been morphed. When one goes through the video the sequence of frame does not look like a motion picture but as if frames are trying to be connected. The next feature is that for any morphing it is only the head need to be added or deleted. In majority of the photograph all the necks of alleged person were usually covered through some robe. This factor gives more reasons for doubts than adding clarity to the issue. If the video is alleged to be true then the intimacy between the subjects should be an event in regularity because then only the video footage can be planned. The most probing aspect of the feature is that the entire sequence in detail is literally projected as if the act was being ventured for the first time. In any sensual event in closed doors the first thing which comes out soon are the robes where each person literally pounces on the others clothes. Whereas in the alleged video the experienced woman was provoking as if it was a new for the man and contrarily the man was silent in a closed door which is too good to be true. If it is a continued relationship of intimacy then there will not be delay in the act of disrobing one another and jumping directly into the final act and then only a sting operation can be planned.

The sequence of event has lot of queries and appears to be weak on facts. The forensic experts will be doing their job to unravel the issue. But the question will still remain for the legal experts that can you bring a person to book when the acts are performed in the closed doors voluntarily by each person.

LOOK AT THE CROWD WHO ARE THROWING STONES

Every person loves thyself and despite making innumerable mistakes, then how come the same person becomes agitated and throws stones at others for just one mistake. As I was watching the visual media, my heart came to my mouth where I saw hordes of people who were on the ire to wipeout any symbols connected with Swami Nithyananda just because they heard some half truth. The quest in me reminded me of a sage who raised the voice to a crowd and said that “anyone can throw stone at the criminal only if one has not done the crime.” This dictum doesn’t change even now though the society’s value system has degenerated as the slip in morality is no more a taboo.

People expressing their deep anger are the very same kinked minds who have destroyed the homes of innocent. Sitting on the podium inside the State Assembly and shouting that the assets of the Nithyananda mission should be taken over by State is a very noble thought. Why don’t the visions of these politicians start from their very home as I am sure that State will be thousands and thousands fold richer than targeting an allegedly tainted Swamiji? The question is not about the seizure or takeover of the assets but the relevance of ones contribution to the society. The disgruntled people who have shown their rage and also the politicians have run to the same Swamiji and touched his feet seeking PEACE and HAPPINESS in life. It was not possible if the master had not created the deep impact in and around.

It is such a great and valorous attempt that one individual has traveled across the world only to express that what India is all about. What is the strength of our roots? The intellect around the world cutting around the nationalities after rigorous screening just knelt before Swami Nithyananda and embraced our culture bowing their forehead. In this modern world when it is so difficult to influence an individual to work for someone as everyone is ready to jump any job with a slight increase in their salary. Look at the morale of Dhyanapeetham that the entire workforce works only for the work sake and nothing else. It is really inexplicable that that we have an individual who has divided the society to show that there is definitely a still appreciable chunk of crowd who has the same faith in the master. Can any individual in the crowd throwing stone match to Swami Nithyananda’s contribution even after the alleged celibacy has come to question.


MY EXPERIENCE WITH MASTER

I was traveling for fishing towards Cauvery (near Bangalore) with my senior colleagues in 2006. All my life I never believed any GODMAN nor am I a person who visits regularly the temples or churches. I just saw the photograph and got mesmerized and asked my colleague the details. After knowing about the picture and I paid the visit to the ashram popularly known as DHYANAPEETHAM. The meeting of Swami Nithyananda with Rekha was a magical experience. I went through ASP and NSP courses just to probe my deep call from within. All the queries from my deep childhood got answered which daily wrestling within my own very being. Though having roots to be in and around the MASTER I never chose that path as I extensively read the discourses which were continually published by the ashram. The path was so amazing that I bought lot of reading material and gave as gift to lot of my friends. I seldom met master personally. If the entire meeting is counted then I have not met him from far more than single digit time. I am a party and witness to several healing which will definitely be termed by common man only as a miracle. The surprising factor is that the healing happened to my friend suffering for 17 years in just 4 days where medical field had no answers. Why I have brought this incident as a refernce is that my friend LEO is a CHRISTIAN by faith.

My relation with my MASTER is absolute. It is infinity and event happening in and around him can never affect my relationship with him as his thoughts are beyond all the pollution. My version must be tested and should never be taken on face value. I emphasize that every INDIAN must read GUARANTEED SOLUTIONS, LIVING ENLIGHTNEMENT and BHAGVAD GITA being demystified to know what the basic constitution of Swami Nithyananda is. A young person with so much of profound thought with great depth has spoken of life that all the spiritual masters have failed to take it to masses. Swami Nithyananda has made the entire philosophy of life so easy that each person after knowing the content can directly CONNECT to GOD. Swamiji’s benevolence is so far reaching that he preached for every soul to go beyond him and never to come back to him if a person has understood the theme of life that GOD reside in every being and we all have to invoke our own GOD and find with our own being as it is nothing outside us.

The humility with which he shares about healing is so enchanting that he proudly shares the secret that I don’t heal you but the truth is that you heal your own self and I just make you aware that you have the same energy as I. Miles and miles can be spoken about Swamiji in length but I will restrict till here as I am just bringing to fore my expression where i express my CONFIDENCE ETERNALLY with my MASTER. What is a FAITH when it can get SHAKEN as I see MASTER beyond the entire act and believe only my experiential reality? My whole being is eternally blessed with his touch to my physical, mental and emotional being. Irrespective of what the world thinks about Swami Nithyananda there are umpteen people who share the same values which I possess for this great master born on this soil.


Life is a deep and personal experience

It’s the extraordinary love affair with the existence,

And

The ultimate path to the merger with the existence itself.

Swami Parmahansa Nithyananda
